The closing ceremony of the project ‘Improving the Quality and Relevance of TVET Programmes in
Engineering in Georgia’ was held at community college Spectri. The
project started in September 2016 with the financial support of Millennium
Challenge Account’s ISWD project and aimed to improve the quality of vocational

The new qualifications were developed with the support of
international partner, Pearson Education Limited. The following qualifications
are now accredited by National Agency of Education Quality Enhancement and BTEC
(international accreditation): welding, air conditioning specialist, electrician
and water supply systems exploitation.
The college infrastructure was also upgraded within the project,

The industry and private sector representatives were actively
involved in the development of new programs. During the project implementation, Memorandum of Understandings
was signed with more than 20 companies for stimulating student internship and
